Africa We Stand Up For You

When they ask you tell them you are from Africa.Africa and nowhere else.Africa has made youAfrica has made me; It is time to make Africa.So Mother AfricaDo not be in haste.Your sons and daughtersStill live.They live you rather than leave you.Once perched we will fly.Fly to you and not from you.Your songs of praiseWill always be sung unrestrained.You are Beautiful, Africa.Africa you will never go on your knees.We were imprisoned, We were exported, We were whipped in those days, We went on our knees,
